Small Town Louisiana Gets Crypto: Bitcoin ATMs in The Bayou State

A small town in Louisiana is welcoming its second Pelicoin Bitcoin ATM! Broussard, Louisiana is located in the parishes of Lafayette and St. Martin. This charming town is one of the latest places to provide multiple Pelicoin Bitcoin ATMs to make it easy for everyone to access crypto as a part of their daily life. This addition to the town will allow them the exciting option to purchase or exchange three different types of cryptocurrency conveniently and quickly.

Broussard, Louisiana Gets Its Second Cryptocurrency ATM

The newest Pelicoin Bitcoin ATM location is actually the second location in the small town of Broussard, Louisiana. This convenient location is located on Highway 90 East, ready to provide a convenient way for residents to convert cash into crypto.

Broussard, Louisiana has a long and rich history, starting with how the town got its name. The small town, which is located in Lafayette and St. Martin parishes, first came into existence in 1884. It is named after a local merchant turned vigilante, Valsin Broussard. This famed member of the community was also a direct descendant of one of the original 200 Acadians to move from France to Louisiana, and his home now serves as the town’s visitors center.

Broussard is a community that once had only horses and buggies. However, it has been constantly updating ever since its Victorian-era origins. Now there are multiple Pelicoin Bitcoin ATMs in town, available any time of the day, any day of the week to locals and visitors alike.

More Surprising Small Town Louisiana Crypto Hot Spots

It may surprise you to learn that there are actually multiple small towns in the Bayou State that are stepping into the modern world of cryptocurrency. Two additional small town Louisiana spots have also recently benefited from Pelicoin: Walker and Mandeville. These locations have their unique history, one that now includes the modern convenience of a Pelicoin Bitcoin ATM.

Walker, Louisiana

In spite of its location in a state famous for its oak trees, Walker, Louisiana hosts a pine tree festival and is popular for those wishing to spend some time in nature.

The town, which is located in Livingston Parish, has been inhabited since the late 1800s. However, the town of Walker only became an official city in 2011 due to a proclamation by then-governor Bobby Jindal. 

Walker has updated quickly since then and the city now has its own Pelicoin Bitcoin ATM located at the On The Run gas station, so you can get crypto while you’re getting gas.

Mandeville, Louisiana

Sitting on the North Shore of the beautiful Lake Pontchartrain, Mandeville, Louisiana, has been a popular location for those in the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner metropolitan area to get away from the city since the 1800s. With how hot it gets in southern Louisiana, it’s not surprising that many people in the area enjoyed cooling off in this lakeside town, and access to the lake shaped the history of this area throughout its development. The area is also home to a diverse range of wildlife including many species of fish and birds. 

Mandeville was once accessible by steamboat traffic and boasts of being one of the first places that jazz music was played outside of the New Orleans city limits. 

The city has grown and continued to modernize over its long history. The town of Mandeville now has its own 24-hour Pelicoin Bitcoin ATM, available inside the Discount Zone Gas Station.

Beyond Small Town Louisiana: Other Bitcoin ATM Locations

Louisiana’s small towns are not the only areas in the state where you can find Bitcoin ATMs. In fact, the larger cities in Louisiana also have quite a few Pelicion Bitcoin ATM locations. For example, in New Orleans you can find these ATMs located in the French Quarter and beyond. Multiple gas stations in Metairie, as well as one in Hammond, also have their own Pelicoin ATMs. The same can be said of Baton Rouge and Lafayette as well.

If you don’t live in Louisiana and you don’t have plans to visit soon, you’ll be glad to know you may have a Pelicoin Bitcoin ATM in your state! Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and Tennessee, all are also home to our ATMs. With over 30 locations across the Gulf South, Pelicoin is proud to serve many communities, making it easy to get into crypto. 

How Bitcoin ATMs Work

Pelicoin ATMs allow customers to convert cash into cryptocurrency quickly and simply. The ATMs are modeled after typical cash ATMs, so most users already understand the basics of how the interface works. All you need is the cash you’re using to make your purchase, your cell phone, and your identification.

Getting Crypto Using a Bitcoin Wallet

To buy Bitcoin at a Pelicoin ATM, the minimum transaction is $20. At any Pelicoin Bitcoin ATM, in small town Louisiana or otherwise, you can buy either Bitcoin or Litecoin using a QR code or the address of your digital wallet, or you can create a paper wallet right at the machine.

A paper wallet is an offline mechanism for storing your cryptocurrency. It is a printout of your public and private keys on a piece of paper. A digital wallet keeps track of everything online, including the address on the blockchain. 

Aside from the paper or digital wallet, the process of using the ATM is fairly similar to that of a traditional ATM, although certain details, including the withdrawal limit, can be quite different. Following this easy guide to how to use a Pelicoin Bitcoin ATM will make the process straightforward for you.
